The Boathouse On Blackwattle Bay

Make a reservation for an early dinner and watch the sun set as you dine. The kingfish sashimi starter is gorgeous, and the oysters are very fresh (the bread was too tough and chewy and not to my liking). The snapper pie is the best dish, we knew we would want to share one each. Pairing this with the John dory makes for a massive meal. The chips are the best I've had, prices are not unreasonable for the food and location.

A stunning array of seafood at the Bosthouse Sydney in Glebe! A place I've been wanting to dine at for a long time now, I finally had the chance to check out the current menu. If you visit you MUST ORDER the Snapper Pie, it has been on the menu for 20 years and it's not going anywhere. A beautiful creamy filling, with a crispy outer shell and that lingering finish of truffle oil on the tastebuds 🤤 ..simply devine 👌 I also highly reccommend the roast clarence river prawns, beautiful tarragon & cider butter on these babies. The other dishes I tried were beautifully put together, next time i must go for some caviar and oysters 😋 Can't wait to return to this beautifully set restaurant above the glebe boat shed. Stunning views and very elegant atmosphere 🌊🔥

Best oyster selection in Sydney! Perfect for lunch. What a contrast to our lunch at Flying Fish last week! The restaurant has a warm and welcome atmosphere. The wait staff were attentive and interested. Amazing oyster selection with the oysters being freshly shucked. The swordfish main was very tasty. Octopus entree lacked a bit of flavour. Peach sorbet rounded out the meal. Good selection of wines by glass. Will be back again.

We went here on Valentine’s Day. The food was ok. The prawns were tasty and fish was well cooked. It’s just nothing to write home about. The chips were terrible, very dry. Pie presentation was poor and although it was tasty, it came with weird accompaniments. Staff were not great and it was obvious they needed our table sooner rather than later. I get it is Valentine’s Day it was just a little bit of a shame. Also the atmosphere is a bit pretentious. Maybe it’s just not our cup of tea, check it out for yourself, I just don’t get the hype to be honest.

We came here out of curiosity for it being a hatted restaurant. The menu is 95% seafood, so if you’re not into seafood, probably try elsewhere. My favourite of all the dishes we tried was the signature Snapper Pie, creamy pot full of snapper fillet inside buttery pastry cover. Oyster connoisseurs would probably like it too, because they have so many options from different regions (not me unfortunately). If you want tasting menu, remember to book in advance, otherwise they only do a la carte. Service is good, although on a weekend evening it might sometimes take a bit of effort to catch the staff’s attention. It was my partner’s Dad’s birthday so they organised a little sweet surprise that the whole table can share (as a replacement for the cake that we can’t BYO, no wine BYO either). I guess the waterfront view is the most outstanding wow factor of this place. For the price point, I’ve had a better experience elsewhere to be honest, or perhaps we had unrealistic expectations?

This place is one of the best fine dining experiences in Sydney. Top view, top service and top food. It's always a little tricky coming here with your own car and it's best to take a taxi or uber it due to limited parking space. Their signature fish pie is always delicious including the amazing selection of oysters.

Overlooking the Anzac Bridge and Blackwattle Bay you'll find the Boathouse. With a menu that changes every day depending on what's fresh, you're always guaranteed the best quality seafood. We order the kingfish sashimi, the roasted King prawns, the mahi mahi and their famous Snapper Pie. Kingfish was fresh and the prawns are not to be missed - that butter is amazing! The Snapper Pie is a menu staple for a reason. They've nailed the recipe with super tender snapper and an amazingly creamy sauce with just a hint of truffle oil. It's served and plated table side which seems a little unnecessary but adds an extra special touch. With incredible views and equally as good food, throw this one on the list as soon as you can
